We were too naive to see it
So Mother Nature called us out
emblematized future dying friendship
With a tree through the house
Symbolism breaking branches
Roof falls above your head
Structure built for 3 years
Crumbles down quickly instead
But the skeleton was never sound
Wish we knew to get out
Wish we knew to get out
Wish we knew to get out
pictures of an ex quietly taken down
Feeling guilty, no concrete reason (why)
They had their chance to atone
Now miserys got me in a choke hold
A take no prisoners rule
once harmonic tune turned dissonant
So fast it made me cruel
I’ve never felt this mad
But the skeleton was never sound
Wish we knew to get out
Wish we knew to get out
I won’t greet with fake smiles like you do
I’ve no need to mollify
I’m not afraid of your whiplash responses
Acting like we told you to go hide
Ill snuff out the flames from the fire
Gaslighting’s so 421
Is he someone you’d die for
he’s someone you lie for
There’s nothing to fake now you ruined it all yourself
But the skeleton was never sound
Wish we knew to get out
Wish we knew to get out
We were too naive to see it
So Mother Nature called us out
emblematized future dying friendship
With a tree through the house

Inseparable

Sometimes I think it's my bias talking
When I say id rather see me there
Maybe its just my hate for change coming
Out my mouth when he's here
Cause we used to be, One in the same
Inseparable names
the definition of confidants
It feels wrong to watch myself grow
Apart from you now
But maybe thats what I needed most
Three years gone but now im walking solo
Or the third of a trio no one wants to be apart of
Dont get me wrong this sounds like a love poem
Its not im happy you’ve found home in someone who holds your heart up
But we used to be, One in the same
Inseparable names
the definition of confidants
It feels wrong to watch myself grow
Apart from you now
But maybe thats what I needed most
And I know one day it’ll be me
On the other side
Looking through oblivious eyes
And I know, this isnt out of the ordinary
Other people felt just like me
But I feel alone
Cause we used to be, One in the same
Inseparable names
definition of confidants
It feels wrong to watch myself grow
Apart from you now
But maybe thats what I needed most

Lost You

I keep trying to understand
When I lost sight of who you were
Was I always so oblivious
Or just shielding myself from the worst
There’s a lot of build up
with a far way to fall
Im at the top of this mountain
And you’re looking so small
facing the other way
Cause he called your name
Its not my place to say
I lost you
Or maybe you lost yourself
Unless this is who you really are
And I’m foolishly pleading for help
Cause I lost you
At least it feels that way
Because I don’t know who this is anymore
Glimpses growing more fleeting each day
Tensions asphyxiate
But I’m the only one not breathing
Your change is choking me
But he’s the only one you bleed for
There’s pooling resentments
Gathered under my eyes
If you took a look in the mirror
Who if at all would recognize
Facing the other way
Wish he never called your name
Its not my place to say
I lost you
Or maybe you lost yourself
Unless this is who you really are
And I’m foolishly pleading for help
Cause I lost you
At least it feels that way
Because I don’t know who this is anymore
Glimpses growing more fleeting each day
I lost you
Resentment eats me up
Fixing this just aint worth the risk
Of falling farther apart
